Originally published at Sa.catapult.org.uk SteamJet, the first Westcott BIC incubated, is developing a safer, compact, and affordable water-based propulsion system for CubeSats and Small Satellites. The aim is to expand current mission capabilities, enabling satellites to stay in Space longer, change and optimize their orbit, avoid collisions, operate in constellations, and de-orbit at the end of...
SteamJet planned to perform the first in-orbit demonstration of a reliable, compact, and affordable water-based propulsion system launched from a Soyuz. Nevertheless, this launch has been delayed and is now canceled. This is the reason why our second test in-orbit demonstration in cooperation with Space X becomes the first one. Herewith, SpaceX and Momentus have...
